Which type of dessert would you choose for the rest of your life? (1 Viewer)

So lemon bars, pumpkin bars, brownies and scotcheroos are pastries?  Combined with donuts this would be my choice.  Pie would be number 2 followed closely by ice cream. 

 

[NutterButter]

Tough call, but I'm going with pastries.    I can eat fresh croissants covered in nutella until my stomach explodes.  There's just so much complexity with a pastry.

Omg, how did I forget that donuts fall under pastries.  Forget about it.   

 

[Jules Winnfield]

What about lemon poppy seed bread? What category is that?

Its gotta be a cake, right?

 

[popeye]

Assuming I can have all the coffee or milk I want, it's pies

I have become a "Freeze Baby".. Other then going Cross Country skiing in the winter I tend to hunker down and wait for the Warm weather to return..
The LAST thing I want during the winter is Ice Cream 

Ha. Somehow I've never heard of that term.

But yeah, I've never gotten that feeling with ice cream.  To me, that would be like saying I wouldn't want a nice warm chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven because it's too hot outside.

I'm really surprised at the ice cream love.  I can see it for some, but that's a lot of you giving up chocolate chip cookies, oreos, etc. forever. 

If you gave me the choice between a bowl of ice cream and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, I'm going cookies 9/10 times.

3 years ago I'd have said ice cream easy.  But if I eat ice cream tonight, tomorrow morning I'll have a phlegm reaction that is not at all fun.

Cookies it is.

 

[In The Zone]

Plus you get cheesecake as well! I’m going with pie too.

Really surprised at all the ice cream love, I eliminated that one right off the bat.

One of the reasons I chose cake is because of cheesecake.

Pastries for the versatility.  Brownies, flan, creme brulee, bear claws, donuts, cupcakes, tiramisu.

I'm with this guy.

I'd miss pie and pie crust in particular, but a crispy napoleon or baklava would satisfy my crust craving.

I've been thinking about this all day.   The correct answer is scotch.

 

[In The Zone]

IMO it's cake. Ice Cream cakes and cheesecakes should fall into the cake category. 

I've made cheesecakes with graham cracker, oreo, brownie, and chocolate chip cookie crust.

Plus you can make a cake and incorporate all kinds of things like cookies, cinnamon rolls, banana pudding, etc. etc. etc. 

I'll take my cake and eat it to.

How would ice cream cake not just fall under ice cream?  It's ice cream in the shape of a cake.   If it was cake, it would be a lot easier to find strippers to deliver it.

Way closer to a pie IMO, nothing cake-like about a crust with filling. 

 

[Travis the Chimp]

Have to go pie. Chocolate silk, coconut cream, banana cream, lemon meringue, warm apple, pumpkin, PECAN. As I list these the decision just gets easier. 
 

OMG cheesecake!

 

[Alex P Keaton]

I know there are a few more types of desserts, but for the purpose of this, we're going to stick with these 5 main categories.  You have to choose 1 category that you would be allowed to eat for the rest of your life and you'd have to give up desserts from the other 4 categories.

Cookies
Ice cream
Pies
Cakes
Pastries

The entire concept of this thread, just imagining this happened in real life, makes me very sad.....

 

[In The Zone]

In reality cheesecake is a custard. I've had cheesecakes ( Cheesecake Factory) with layers of cheesecake and regular cake as well as frosting. What category would you consider that to be in?

Although....the best single desert in the country is a real Pittsburgh burnt almond torte.

Pies. French silk pie is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy.

One of the places we have been picking up food makes an awesome french silk pie that is the in the fridge right now.  Add in key lime, pumpkin, pecan, and cheesecakes?  Easy win for pie here.

You’re under the assumption that I could before this discussion?

I’m always down for Buttermilk Pie

ITS GONE. So much for posterity

 

[Wingnut]

Key Lime Pie is the only answer for me.

 

[WDIK2]

Pie, and I don't even need to get that fancy.  Peach, cherry, apple, coconut cream, and chocolate.  I would like some of those with ice cream, but whipped cream will work.

ETA:  Left out pecan accidentally and pumpkin on purpose.

Pie, but ice cream is only a whisker behind.

I’d say cake + frosting + no crust makes that more cake than pie, while your standard crust + custard cheesecake falls into the pie category for the purposes of this poll.

Hey fatties....I found the diabetes thread!

I couldn't pick one...I celebrate the entire sweets catalogue.

Fair enough.  There are variations of each dessert category that can include almost all of the other categories.

Same, except 10/10.  Ice cream is my last choice of these.  First is cookies, and it's not particularly close, though I could understand if someone says pie.  Wtf is the matter with you people?  Ice cream!?!??

ITS GONE. So much for posterity

So I go online today to pay my credit card bills and my Mastercard is really high and I had not used it much lately.

but let me go back a little ways, first.

Last weekend, I had to miss my GBGM's wedding. I just had too much going on to take off 3-4 days to go to Detroit.

Thursday night his soon-to-be BIL was throwing a bachelor party / poker game in his honor and I decided it would be good schtick to have some strippers deliver an ice cream cake to the event and dance to some Neil Young songs.

So after calling around the greater Detroit area, I finally found a stripp-o-gram operation that promised to pick up an ice cream cake, take it to the poker game, and serve it to the guests while singing Heart of Gold and Southern Man in the nude. The only catch was that I had to find and pay for an ice cream cake. I tell them to give me an hour and I'll call them back.

Eva's ice Cream in Lake Orion seemed like the best choice after some Google searching, so I call them up. but they sell ice cream. And they sell cakes. but they do not sell ice cream cakes. I spend 15 minutes with the owner trying to get her to concoct the unimaginable recipe of smearing a couple of quarts of ice cream on top of one cake and then putting another cake on top of that. I offered her $100 to perform this complicated task and I think I just about had her talked into it, until I told her it needed to be done ASAP before the strippers showed up. She hung up on me and no one there would answer the phone when I repeatedly tried to call back.

I tried a few other places with no luck, but finally the Lake Orion DQ told me that they had ice cream cakes ready to go, but they closed in 15 minutes. He even agreed to a credit card payment - if I threw in an extra twenty bucks for the trouble.

I called back the strippers, but they said there was no way they could get to Lake Orion before the DQ closed. So I told them to blow it off. That without an ice cream cake it would just be inferior schtick.

Evidently the strippers had caller ID, because they called me back twenty minutes later and told me the Kroger sold Ice cream cakes. So I call the Lake Orion Kroger to see if I could charge one of their delicious cakes on my Mastercard for my hired performers ( I had learned that the sensibilities of Western Detroit merchants were offended when it came to holding cakes for strippers).

My new-found decorum was lost on the Kroger manager, as he would not let me pay for a cake over the phone no matter who was picking it up.

So I called back the strippers and told them it was still a no go because the Kroger wouldn't take a credit card over the phone.

So they told me that if I would pay them $375 ($100 over the previously negotiated price) that they would pay for the cake themselves.

Ok I said, relenting to their unrealistic demands due to my BAC and determination to see this task through.

But that wasn't enough. Evidently the Detroit-based strippers were too inept to get to Lake Orion, unless I was willing to stay on the cell phone while they navigated to the privileged western regions of the county while read turn-by turn directions from Google maps.

To help pass the time while they drove, I worked with them on the lyrics to Heart of Gold and Southern Man. Turns out they really did not know either song and were doing a woeful job of memorizing the words while I played an MP3 in the background during our phone conversation.

My patience is running thin because they only remember half of the chorus to Southern Man and hardly any of Heart of GOld. But they finally make it to the Lake Orion Kroger.

Once there they cannot find any ice cream cakes.

They find ice cream and they find cakes. But no ice cream cakes.

I figured if na Ice Cream shop owner (like Eva from Eva's ice Cream) in Michigan cannot figure out how to transform two cakes and half a gallon ice cream into a delicious ice cream cake - there's no way it worth even attempting to do it over a cell phone with two strippers from Detroit.

At this point I've spent over three hours trying to get this done and I am ready to give up. I told them it had to be ice cream cake or the deal was off. They insisted that cake and ice cream was a suitable substitute and I was still obligated to go thru with the deal.

Sorry, strippers, but that was not the agreement.

Several minutes and hundreds of profanities later I turned off my cell and ended the once- flourishing relationship.

About that time Charvik calls me on my home phone. I had left him a message several hours earlier to try and help me coordinate the stripper and ice cream cake fiasco. I briefly attempted to enlist his support in obtaining an ice cream cake, but I don't know if you have ever tried communicating with a drunken Norwegian who is barely understandable when sober, but its not pretty. Or productive. He finally hands off the phone to Forrest.

I still ahve glimmers of hope that I may somehow pull this off as a surprise, so I have to chat with Forrest and pretend that I am just calling to wish him luck yada yada yada. I finally get his drunk ### off the phone and he gives the receiver to JTC, who is also in town for the festivities. His complete drunkenness makes him even more indecipherable than the drunken Norwegian who first called me.

By this time its almost midnight and I decide to give up. I had given it my best shot and failed.

Now I see the strippers charged me $375 with a $500 tip for their troubles. That seems excessive since they never delivered cake, took off their clothes or learned any of the Neil young lyrics. I think I may file a dispute over the charges.

 

[NutterButter]

Cinabuns are delicious.  

 

[Galileo]

Omg, how did I forget that donuts fall under pastries.  Forget about it.   

That's breakfast, not dessert.

 

[Galileo]

honestly surprised to see I’m the only vote for pie after ~25 votes so far.  It’s the diversity, so many different flavors/kinds, and can go sweet or fruity.  Plus coconut cream pie is the single best dessert on the planet already...

Pastries for the versatility.  Brownies, flan, creme brulee, bear claws, donuts, cupcakes, tiramisu.

Have to go pie. Chocolate silk, coconut cream, banana cream, lemon meringue, warm apple, pumpkin, PECAN. As I list these the decision just gets easier. 
 

OMG cheesecake!

We can make ice cream taste like any of these...Ice Cream is the clear winner.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Same, except 10/10.  Ice cream is my last choice of these.  First is cookies, and it's not particularly close, though I could understand if someone says pie.  Wtf is the matter with you people?  Ice cream!?!??

yes

 

[jhib]

For you pie fans, how often do you eat pie? I mean, I love me some pie, but I only have it once every other month or so tops. It just seems a little high maintenance and special occasion-y. That's one of the reasons I wouldn't miss it so much.

Now, ice cream on the other hand...

 

[dickey moe]

Ice cream will run away with this. Very Oedipal.

 

[Jayded]

I almost went ice cream because of mix-ins too like Cookies and Cream to cover multiple categories, but in the end chose cake. 

Too much versatility to avoid and both cold and warm options for all seasons. 
 

Oh and I’d consider a cheesecake a tart if I had a vote.

Oof, I forgot about donuts too. 
 

I don’t consider donuts dessert though
